Fishing in the 1950s in Rocky Point ( you know…when you could actually catch big fish!)

Found this…interesting “the photos were of the old sport fishing boat, Galeana, which was operated out of Puerto Peñasco by Andy Chersin and Dave J. Hyams in the early 1950s, and even the late 1940s, according to some old timers. And then, there was one of the rarest photos of all: fishermen boarding a Pullman train car in Mexicali for a trip to Puerto Peñasco in 1957. On these trips, the clients slept and ate in the car, and they fished on day trips aboard the Galeana. Kind of tells you something about the state of the accommodations in town during the era, no

Had no idea that The Skipper AND Gilligan fished these waters.

Always thought they were stuck somewhere out in the Pacific
